I agree with you, but I am not sure that I would call what I created a "framework." I started this project so many years ago that I knew nothing about creating a framework. Actually, I still don't :)
All I do now is trying to clean-up the mess; fix bugs, and make the application more robust.
For example, I started this particular thread because I am still trying to duplicate the error "Record is out of range" (I have had threads about this error before). I get error emails from some (only a few) customers that have in the description this error. It always happens when a user tries to close the application (in the method Start(), after READ EVENTS). The odd thing (to me) is that the error happens with customers who use SQL Server as a database. I always thought that "Record is out of range" belongs to the VFP world. But apparently not so.
I know that sooner or later I will duplicate this error on my system which will lead to the solution.
